My computer crashed.
It's driving me up the wall. Hopefully it's just the power supply like my dad thinks it is. If it isn't I'm buying a laptop. There's no way he's going to fix it for me if it's not, considering my sister's computer has been dead for two years.
Lots of ranting after this point, I'm not bothering with a cut deal with it. Don't wanna hear me bitch, don't read. The important shit is up there. If you do bother readin this, sorry it's long. I just don't care.
I have 100+ gig of music, video, projects and pictures on there. It's the music and videos that I dont want to loose, or the project I was just working on. What's worse is I keep getting upset (god I love mood swings. .-.;) and I can't vid it out, like I have been lately. I can't really write either. I don't write shorthand, I just don't. My spelling is shit, and my handwriting makes it hard to read anything. I type everything.
Dad is gonna get the powersuppy tomorrow, hopefully get it in and see if it works. If it does, I'm jumping for joy if it doesn't I'm buying that laptop.
He really doesn't want me to, he really wants me to save money for a car, which I am. He just doesn't seem to reilize how much I do on the computer. All my creatve outlets are here, which is something I need to keep myself sane. I can't draw, and by that I mean I litterally can't will myself to be able to draw for whatever reason. Even still, it's not my outlet like it is others. Writting and vidding are, along with graphics too.
Im highjacking my dad's laptop, which he keeps telling me he might just let me have. I dont want it, I want my own. It's only 150 gig too, which for normal use would be fine but the video and music alone was about 100 gig. Plus all the programs I run, plus every other file I had on my old one.
I was running about 175-200 of my 320. Most of that was videos, I know that. Considering four seasons of Supernatural alone was 30 gig. On top of that this thing runs XP, which after using vista for nearly two years, is driving me up a wall. I think it's ugly, it may run better to some but I hate it. Even if he gives it to me to use, it's still his computer. He bought it, not me. I'd still be unsure of what I could put on it, which means I wouldn't be able to edit. Which the thought of not being able to do that is nearly making me cry. On top of that, the screen's resilutuon is the highest one you can set. Meaning this damned thing is so small, and I can't change it. Not his fault though, the laptops.
I dont even feel like I should write here either. It's not my computer. I not my place to sit down and blow off steam. My safe haven in a sense. I dont feel safe to write, not that I could get in trouble for what I write but not everything I write I show to people. My dad could still find it even if I didn't save, cause you know it's still there. They have a saying in the IT department, "Don't do anything you don't want someone else to find." Cause it never really goes away. Even if it would be something I'd be okay with someone reading, doesn't mean I want them too.
So I dont feel like I can write, I can't vid, I can't do any graphics either. All my creative outlets are pretty muched stripped away with my computer. Ha. I dont know if I feel sad saying that or not.
Don't get me wrong, my friends are fantastic. I bet I'm going to be spending plenty of time this summer over with Lace, Rick, Nathan, Britni, Chris, Berry and Beth. Even more so after I get my licens since I can make some kind of a deal with my mom about the truck, we've already talked about that. <3 Just...somethings my friends can't fix. .-.; I need me time, ya know? My me time is on the computer.
I know my dad is doing the best he can to fix it right now. It's not his fault the store was closed, or that we dont even have the part in the house he needs. I know that, which is why I'm tying so hard not to bug him to deal about this. I think I've done an alright job so far. Even more so since I know he can't do anything.
I wonder if I've hurt him a bit though, with making my mind up so quickly to buy a laptop if it's not a simple fix. It's just....I was honding him for nearly two years to build that computer he promised me. Guess what, I never got it. I bought my computer, granted he did help me with that one. My sister's computer has been dead for the last two years. I know how he is. He works with them all day long so he doesn't want to touch them. I get that. .-.; Mah.
The sad thing is, I'm really kind of half hoping he can't fix it. I want a laptop, badly. I wanted a laptop in the first place but since it wasn't logical for me to have one he wouldn't let me get one. (Which is fair, and conisdering he paid for half of it even more fair. ) However, now it's logical. I start collage up in the fall. I dont know how much I actually need one for class, but the more I think about it the more I think I actually need one for my neck.
He was talking about letting me use this one for school, which honestly I could have done but once again it's not mine. So, I want the laptop but I really want my computer back.
I really dont think it's the power supply though, since it didn't smell or look dead. (I asked, and even he said it didn't.) But it's the first logical thing to check, so we're checking it. .-.; I just wish we didn't have to go buy the part, and instead we could steal one from the crap we got out in the garage.
MAH. I'm in a bad mood because of it. Anyways, that's why I'm not on.
